Join us to learn more about the “hows and whys” of sustainability education. Dr. David Zandvliet of SFU offers case studies of how environmental education—including topics on climate change—is being successfully infused into current curriculums. Dr. Alejandro Rojas from UBC highlights the innovative “Think & Eat Green @ School” research project, which investigates food security and climate change issues with Vancouver schools’ students, parents, staff and administrators.
